$1 Subs at Jimmy Johns today from 11am-3pm

Not sure what you're doin' for lunch today? Have an extra hour or so to wait in a long line of cheapskates to score a $1 sandwich? Well, if so, head to numerous Jimmy John's locations today for Customer Appreciation Day from 11am-3pm and get any 8 inch sub for $1. We're not sure it'll be worth the hassle because everyone and their mom is tweeting/facebooking about it, but hey, a cheap sandwich is a cheap sandwich. Limit one per customer per location.

UPDATE: This is apparently a union-busting effort (thanks for the tip anonymous commenter) local Jimmy John's employees are unionizing AND on strike:

MINNEAPOLIS– Sandwich workers at nine Minneapolis Jimmy John's locations made history this morning as they filed for the first-ever National Labor Relations Board union election at the national fast food chain. If a majority of workers vote in favor of unionization, franchise owner Mike Mulligan will be legally bound to negotiate with a bargaining team elected by his employees.

  1. Before lunch, you should know that Jimmy John's workers are unionizing AND on strike.

    This sale is a union-busting effort. Think about what you're doing before you cross a picket line.

  2. A simple Google search turns up Customer Appreciation Days around the country, and in 2009. So the assertion that this sale is a union-busting effort is highly questionable, at best. It seems more likely that the union timed their filing to try to attract attention during the sale.
